Strudelkugel writes "The LA Times and others are reporting the music industry is working with SanDisk to try unrestricted music files on SD memory cards to improve sales of physical media: "In addition to music, the slotMusic cards will come pre-loaded with other things, such as liner notes, album-cover artwork and sometimes video." The important part: "The music on slotMusic comes without copyright protection, so it can be used on almost all computers, mobile phones and music players — but it won't play on an iPod, which doesn't have a micro-SD memory slot. It has one gigabyte of memory, and the music tracks are played back at high quality." Could it be the labels have finally recognized that providing features and convenience to customers is preferable to suing them?"
